Richard David Precht befasst sich im vierten Band seiner Geschichte der Philosophie mit der Moderne. Das Werk hat seine Vorzüge, liefert aber kaum neue Erkenntnisse. Eine Rezension
Richard David Precht widmet sich einer der komplexesten Epochen der Geistesgeschichte. Sein Buch wird der Moderne nur bedingt gerecht.

Wie extreemrechts wil doorgronden moet dit boek over de Frankfurter Schule lezen
Trouw
(...) Dit deeltje gaat over de Frankfurter Schule, een groep Duitse intellectuelen die in de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw verbonden waren aan het Institut für Sozialforschung in Frankfurt en zich daar toelegden op kritische theorie, een door Marx en Freud geïnspireerde, maatschappelijk betrokken onderzoeksmethode.
Deze filosofen, sociologen en psychoanalytici bogen zich vooral over de vraag: waarom lukt het onze hoogontwikkelde beschaving maar niet om het kwaad uit te bannen? De Verlichting beloofde dat met wetenschappelijke, economische en technologische vooruitgang ook politieke en morele emancipatie van de mensheid gepaard zou gaan, maar helaas: we hebben, ondanks al onze ontwikkeling, nog altijd te maken met onderdrukking, met de Holocaust als moreel dieptepunt. Is er nog hoop voor de rede? (...)

Wat opvalt is hoe sterk de uitdagingen waar de Frankfurters mee te maken kregen lijken op de uitdagingen van onze tijd: hoe de kapitalistische cultuurindustrie de kunsten tot consumptieartikelen maakt en zo het maatschappijkritische potentieel ervan smoort. Hoe ideologie tot polarisatie leidt en de democratie uitholt. Hoe we vervreemd raken van onszelf en de natuur. Hoe de rede een instrument is geworden waarmee elk individu via eigen onderzoek tot eigen waarheden komt die de ideologie bevestigen in plaats van de mensheid juist van ideologische oogkleppen te bevrijden. Hoe antisemitische complottheorieën en het charisma van autoritaire persoonlijkheden voor veel mensen aantrekkelijk blijkt. (...)

Today's world has taken on the appearance of today's man.
A divided creature, frightened by the darkest part of himself, he projects it onto everything around him, onto what he even believes constitutes him. He has thus set himself up as a kind of digital model. However, beyond his avatar, beyond the palace of pixels, patiently waiting for him in the reality of his depth, are the lips of his missing part, still asleep.

'A frightened little boy, deep down': Defendant Trump struggling with new status: Mary Trump
For anyone interested in the Stable Genius' thinking, and/or #psychology / #psychopathology
Here's someone who knows him better than nearly anyone, a clinical psychologist, and Trump's niece.
She's often spoken about his family crimes to his own family, and his generally living in a delusional world.... and his use of #media
Snippets: "That used to be strategy... temper tantrums-... it's not strategy any more,.." And into his "fear of humiliation", so strong "he cannot course correct". And the axiom I know to be true: With our 'defenses' against conscious awareness of unwanted thought - Freud said - we blot out reality & project, deny, etc. Therapists/analysts know very well: It is easier to feel anger than pain. Explains a lot.

Sigmund Freud's Game Box
It's the weekend! Coming soon. Let the games begin!
Even Freud, studious & serious, was a huge fan of games.
Nice set here! From his home/office at Berggasse 19, Wien (Vienna).
The earlier photos I posted, of his famous couch, were taken a few days earlier, in London, where Sigmund and Anna wound up after the Holocaust, thanks to Marie Bonaparte and other admirers and patrons. Only a few relics (original) returned to his home of many years, and now there is an art gallery too, featuring Lucien Freud, Dali, de Chirico , and others.

i-Ching/Karma/Thought-of-the-day - originating 85 years ago - with Freud
I “found” this, hanging on a wall for over 20 yrs, but not noticed of late. Touches a few buttons: travel, Freud, Bonaparte, Paris…
Freud to Marie Bonaparte, August 1937:
“The moment a man questions the meaning & value of life he is sick, since objectively neither has an existence”.
Hmm

MBTI : outils pour être libre ?
Le MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) et un outil pour déterminant le type psychologique d’une personne parmi seize types différents. Voir généralité : https://diaspora.psyco.fr/posts/ef7049206109013ad8d9001e67d879df
On peut se reconnaître dans les descriptions des types mbti, mais pour certaine personne cela reste assez vague. Puis une fois qu’on arrive à se classer on en fait quoi.
« Oui, mais on n’est bien plus que ça »
Oui c’est vrai dans la réalité, notre personnalité est bien plus complexe que ce qui est décrit dans les 16 types. La base du MBTI n’est pas vraiment de classer les gens, ni vraiment de dire qui on est, mais de nous faire comprendre comme on fonctionne psychologiquement.
Chaque être humain a un vécu différent qui ne peut pas être classé dans les 16 types. Mais cela permet de nous faire comprendre nos forces et nos faiblesses.
Si on regroupe le mbti avec les autres études en psychologie (comme Carl Jung, Freud,…), c’est un outil qui peut-être utilisé pour nous aider dans la vie, à nous épanouir via notre libre arbitre.
C’est ce que j’ai découvert sur cette chaine

et sur ce site : https://espacemembredejo.podia.com/
Il y a notamment des explications détaillées pour tous les types mbti et sur les fonctions cognitives.

Heute hatten wir eine Meme in unserem Brieffach, ausgedruckt und aufgehängt: habs leider nicht im Netz gefunden, ist so nicht das selbe. Ich versuche, es Euch zu beschreiben:
Ein Hase liegt auf der Couch von Freud. Freud guckt. Der Hase liegt da und sagt: "Nein, ich weiss wirklich nicht, woher dieser Zwang kommt, anderen die Eier zu klauen und sie dann zu verstecken..."

A very interesting philosophical look at the current social crisis.
When a #Virus Mutates with #Ideology: Fear-Mongering for the ‘Wellbeing of the Neighbour’ by Alex Janda
Source: The philosophical salon
But lessons learnt from #Germany offer an alternative reading: the outburst of utilitarian morals leads to an unethical impasse ignoring radical #freedom.
Germany is predestined to exemplify the gradual division of an entire #society, of how a ‘politics of fear’ combined with a media strategy of ‘fear induction’ govern political decision-making, and how security understood as the elimination of any ‘virological health risk’ becomes the fulcrum point of the current political strategy to fight a pathogen.
They warn and warn – and people then love them for the fact that their evil forecasts never come true because measures were taken to prevent them. Not only does the prevention paradox lie dormant here, but also a cover-up of our factual unknowing of the future. The exact waves of the virus are not predictable, period. If they were, we would not be able to defend ourselves.
The real scandal is that Germany faces an incredible mismanagement of #Covid-19 based on trickery only to keep the neoliberal system it is built upon.
“Our interest is most particularly engaged by the mental state of expectation, which puts in motion a number of mental forces that have the greatest influence on the onset and cure of physical diseases. Fearful expectation is certainly not without its effect on the result. It would be of importance to know with certainty whether it has as great a bearing as is supposed on falling ill; for instance, whether it is true that during an #epidemic those who are afraid of contracting the illness are in the greatest danger. The contrary state of mind, in which expectation is coloured by hope and faith, is an effective force with which we have to reckon, strictly speaking, in all our attempts at treatment and cure. We could not otherwise account for the peculiar results which we find produced by medicaments and therapeutic procedures."
#Biology as an abstract quantifying #science departs from ‘the work of spirit’ any singular cure relies upon ‘in reality’. Each death or survival is a unique constellation involving unknowns. There is no biometric solution ‘for all’.
The political dimension is clear: if expectations are part of the cure, then is an intentionally induced ‘politics of fear’ based on ideological manipulations not deeply unethical in times of fast-propagating virus? Such political manoeuvres are problematic, as they are justified in the name of the ‘wellbeing of the #neighbour’. This imaginary figure of the neighbour can be read in line with Jacques Lacan’s Ego-Ideal: the proclaimed ‘solidarity’ with an anonymous ‘neighbour’, a non-existent ‘jedermann’, who is shifted to the centre of our #responsibility, only serves as a moralistic pretence to care about one’s own survival.
"First of all, let’s get rid of this average Joe, who does not exist. He is a statistical fiction. There are individuals, and that is all. When I hear people talking about the person on the street, studies of public opinion, mass phenomena, and so on, I think of all the patients that I’ve seen on the couch in forty years of listening. None of them in any measure resembled the others. None of them had the same phobias and anxieties, the same way of talking, the same fear of not understanding.”
Official narratives justifying the current political strategy are supported by such a fundamental phantasy about how ‘the neighbour’ is endangered by the very existence of ‘an-other’ – a phantasy that should be met with reasonable scepticism. Its flipside is ‘unconditional love’ for the ‘general public’ (the new ‘jedermann’).
If we love the ‘general public’, we lose sight of the abyss of the ‘real neighbour’ next to us, who cannot be generalized
Governing, the impossible profession, must be based on strategies that refuse drawing worst-case scenarios only to nurture a vague fear lurking behind any encounter with the unfathomable small other, the fear that is today used to effect a permanent shift towards an executive monopoly on the idea of a ‘general public,’ to which we owe our unconditional love.
a psychic entity bombards the subject with impossible-to-fulfil imperatives, and then rejoices in the inevitable failure to implement them.
... a new form of hyper(in)activity combined with a demand of self-imposed isolation and false asceticism. To make deprivations of most basic rights enjoyable, such a lack comes along with a hyperactive excess in the form of a new variety of everyday rituals.
I find it almost philosophical. Sometimes it seems to me like the fourth grievance of humanity. #Freud formulated it: The first grievances were that man is not the centre of the universe after all, that we are somehow descended from apes and that we are drive-driven. Now we are offended that we, as a technologized society, are not in control of this little virus. We have not yet learned the necessary sovereignty to deal with it.”[xviii]
“But what does responsible action mean? Is it enough – loosely based on #Schiller – to point out to people their free decision to do the right, sensible thing in the pandemic only out of inclination and without external compulsion? Will they then participate voluntarily? Or do we need – loosely based on Immanuel #Kant – a rather strict indication of duty and responsibility? A kind of pandemic imperative: ‘In a pandemic, always act as if you had tested positive and your counterpart belonged to a risk group’?"
How easy it is to be ‘transgressive’ in times, when almost every human interaction is forbidden by law or morally condemned, if you do not follow the govern-mental injunction to inject a hastily developed vaccine. How easy it is to be perceived as the ‘limitless jouisseur beyond law’, when hyper-legislation regulates even basic breathing habits. After ‘sweets without sugar’, ‘coffee without caffein’, ‘sex without contact’, we arrive at pure ‘existence without life’; we work in highly precarious conditions and then go home for private self-isolation to meet on a digital screen owned by #Google & Co.
Precisely such an ideological manoeuvre is needed to install obligatory #vaccination through the backdoor – a former tabu in a country like Germany that is otherwise never tired of remembering its eugenic past.
... we live in the ‘society’ we enact, support, and, therefore, no less deserve. Never has it been more obvious how ‘society’ itself is an effect of repression.
